Well known to the Aix, in a small street far from downtown and quiet, Siberia has had its hour of glory. But the glacier is in a loss of speed, with ups and downs, without knowing the regularity that has made its reputation. The little taste of the ice, which before actually felt the fruit, a service too long that the servers charge on too many customers, a waitress who mastique gum by taking the command, over the cutting by making it and serving it. There are no clean toilets and the tower is played so that Siberia can be skipped from the good addresses.
